Payment methods
Paypal (also Credit cards through the Paypal) - preferred payment method.
If You want to pay with credit card through Paypal, but don't have account, You can still do that. More information here: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/361

Credit Cards and Etsy gift cards.
I accept credit cards and Etsy gift cards via Etsy Direct CheckOut.

I usually ship within 3-4working days after payment is cleared. I don't ship on weekends. For example - if purchase is made on Thursday, it will be shipped out on Monday.
Lots "made to order" can take more time to be ready for shipping. Estimated shipping times for these products are shown in the description of the listing.
Items are shipped as registered small parcels through Latvia Post. This type of parcels are trackable in most countries.
Countries, that don't track this type of parcels (as much as I know): Australia, New Zealand, USA (right now), Canada.
Please note, that items ship from Latvia, Europe. Shipping time varies (and there are always exceptions also): for EU countries - 5-10 working days, for USA and Canada - 14-21 working days. Australia has been very slow lately and shipping time can be up to 4 weeks and more.
You will receive shipping notification to You e-mail. Tracking number will be available also on Your purchase page and You will be able to track Your parcel on www.track-trace.com and (for most countries) in Your country post website.

Note for USA customers. Due to changes in USPS tracking system, most parcels are not trackable in usps.com site right now. Hopefully this will change soon.

Packaging
I use plastic self adhesive bags for packing products and bubble envelope to send my items (or cardboard box for larger orders). As postage cost depends on package weight I try to make it as minimal as possible to avoid higher shipping fees. I don't usually add printed receipt (both to save planet resources and not to add weight to parcel), If You need one, You can print it on Your purchase page or let me know in "notes to seller", when purchasing.

All my items come from non-smokers home.

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy.

Information I Collect

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

Data Retention

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
